Nozomu Abe ( 阿部 望 )
[ THREAD ]
One thing I personally like about his style are the "eyes smears" or just the eyes shots and those have been used a lot on Fate Stay Night/Heaven's Feel and Demon Slayer ( plus one scene from Takt Op Destiny ) so here's a collection of them :
Trigun Stampede Post-Ending Cards are definitely wallpaper material. ( From episode 1 to episode 4 )
I posted this once but with the "still-frame" and now watching this while moving, and still keeping all those details in the flames, is even cooler. Again, Gen'ichirou Abe is awesome for animating this sequence and many other incredible scenes.
Space Dandy managed to gather a lot of great animators on the crew and this scene alone is a cool example since, as a whole, this cut had combined Yutaka Nakamura, Kiyotaka Oshiyama, Norifumi Kugai and Chikashi Kubota.
People can tell, from a small piece of art, when an author has a great touch and this little sequence made by the veteran Takeshi Honda, from Japan Anima's Exhibition, shows how simple this animation can look and yet complex actually is.
Whenever a character designer can make cute expressions on girls while also having soft shapes on them, the first name coming to my mind is Kanna Hirayama aka "Kappe". Her corrections on "Rent a Girlfriend" were awesome so you guys better expect some great things coming from her.
